Re: Red Rocks 2010- Festivals, One Off Shows, Etc.

Red rocks is always on my radar... It's a little ways outta the way, but worth every mile. I stopped the first time on a road trip to check it out and knew I had to go back to see a show. I kept tabs and finally Radiohead played there, totally worth the mileage. After Daft Punk ripped Coachella to shreds I made the journey again. I grew up going to the Gorge and it has its own beauty, but Red Rocks is so tiny and the sound is so right there. I say go to both places as many times as you can. Make Coachella friends in both places because traveling for music is so much fun.

I got an in with the Backbeat guy over at the Westword (denver's weely alternative publication.. ie a few articles and concert info/ads for medical marijuana). He'll pass along info as it comes.. 8^)

I am so lame this way: I knew a number of the security people at the upper entrance at RR. They always said if I ever just wanted to "drop in" a show just let them know. I never once took them up on the offer. Maybe this year .... Yea Aurgasm, I think i counted about 300 MMJ adds in westword last week ..... cr****

So you are sleeping with Dave? You are slowly becoming Suprefan.

I did like this though...

U2's appearance at Invesco Field at Mile High on June 12 will be the biggest single-band concert in Colorado this year, but the third annual Mile High Music Festival will likely draw more people. The event will take over the fields surrounding Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City on Aug. 14-15, organizers told The Denver Post. Moving the festival from July to August has multiple benefits, according to promoter Chuck Morris.

"It won't be as hot in August," Morris, president of AEG Live Rocky Mountains, predicted. "And we're also a week after Lollapalooza, which will help with the routing of some of these bands."

Morris' team is busy booking, but he's not announcing any acts until his initial artist announcement, due in early March.
